Just re-read my post and I seem to have done a lot of 'thinking'!!!!

coggy · 10/07/2006 19:28

Think you are supposed to read them after a minute or two and then throw them.

I think the cheaper ones do get this evap. line alot as I have read about it several times on MN.

i also think that CD24 of a 28 day may be a bit early for the cheapo test to show as well.
